A friend of mine that owns a speed shop wants to have a car show where cars are awarded trophies based on popular vote (instead of being judged). I was thinkin' on it and figured it would be relatively simple to allow people to vote with their phones using QR codes. The QR codes would be encoded to got to a website that casts their vote. Easy-peasy. No voting slips to count, no awkward writing on said slips. Just take a photo and bingo!

I was writing code for work, and wanted to generate some docs based on the XML comments. I found ImmuDoc but the docs it generates aren't easily used in a Word document, so I've started wiring a new WPF app called DocuMentor that will do give the programmer the ability to generate docs on one or more selected assemblies, and target either MS Word or HTML format (my boss wants the docs in Word format).

Of course, there's my SQL Agent service, and an app that will resize all images in a folder, and then transfer them to a web site, and my wife wants a slide-show app for her next board meeting that plays music, videos, and displays images (fortunately, I have something like this already written).

I'm gonna be busy at home for months.

There is nothing that current allows you to choose what format to generate the docs, plus I have very specific needs.

Well, I have something working. It uses a QR Reader app to scan the QR code, which is coded to take the user to a URL. The web page creates a file for every vote, and the file name contains the IP address of the voter. I'm hoping this works to uniquely ID each voter to mitigate multiple votes from the same person for the same car. If that works, I can use the IP to only allow the last three votes cast by a person as well. That will control how many cars a person can vote for.

I've already tested the basic QR Code reading/vote casting part, so all I have to do now is see if I can control how many votes are cast.

I doubt that many people there would have the ability to spoof IP addresses while at an event, even if they were willing spend the time doing it (and miss out on stuff), so it should be enough for a clean fight.

So, whatever you may think of Trevor Noah, please be aware that not all South Africans are into bringing on the downfall of the US. Some are still fighting the good fight, like South Africans Against Dagga[1] and Satan[^].

When someone is against Satan, he is actually fighting for something that doesn't need you to fight it. Can you fight Satan? No you can't. You ignore Satanic offers and so on. As far as these drugs are concerned, I don't see any solid reason for you to take them... Is someone forcing you? If you take it, you take it because you take it, noreason behind it.

Instead of fighting Satan, if we should fight against Rape, Corruption, Religious hatred, Poverty... At least I believe, there would be a lot of good results of these causes. Satan? Humanity has been fighting (or maybe that's what it told me) Satan since it was born, and he is still alive. Maybe our weapons are not strong enough.
